The board of directors of the 7,000-acre Casa de Campo resort have named Peter Bonell as its new Chief Marketing Officer.

Bonell, who was recruited by Jose “Pepe” Fanjul, Jr, one of the resort’s principal owners, will be assuming a position created just for him, the resort said.

“Considering Mr Bonell’s extensive background in the industry, the decision to have him join Casa de Campo was a very easy one,” Fanjul Jr said. “Peter’s passion, energy and results-oriented mentality will undoubtedly yield impressive returns for the resort.”

Casa de Campo, which is a member of the Leading Hotels of the World, is located in La Romana in the Dominican Republic.
